Views: 11

With the sun shining, the weather warming up, and end-of-year work projects winding down, we’ve officially entered the season for reuniting with friends we haven’t caught up with in “foreverrrr.”  

And, you can bet that whether it’s Friendsmas, barbeques, or New Year’s Eve, your friends with the ritziest apartments and homes will be getting a hosting workout. Be it a conveniently located waterfront location, an apartment with a pool, or a balcony with stunning views, typically friends and family with the chicest setups do the most hosting. It’s natural then to want to reward your generous and accommodation-blessed loved ones with a gift. So, whether you’re staying for the weekend or popping by for evening drinks and dinner, what do you give a party host?

From homewares to beauty treats and glassware, we’ve curated the best gifts for hosts in 2024.

Do People Still Give Hostess Gifts?

Hostess gifts can feel like an antiquated idea, a relic from our parent’s generation. But, in 2024 hostess gifts remain a thoughtful gesture even in a more casual social landscape. When deciding on the best gift for your host, you may want to factor in the time they’ve put into the event and the scale of the event. For instance, if you’ve stayed at their country house over the weekend you may want to opt for a more substantial gift. If you’ve been invited to dinner or an evening barbeque, flowers, a candle or a bottle of champagne can be all that’s required.
